Heart Attacks While Boating

Every boater who travels more than a couple of dozen miles from shore should
consider carrying an Automatic External Defibrillator. They're available
OTC from Sams club for under $1500...and are absolutely fool-proof to use.


As well as a bomb shelter, radiation suits, a couple of quarts of blood
of the same type as each person on board, a staffed hospital room,
helicopter for EVAC operations, complete antivenom kit, and the list
goes on.....how careful and prepared do you want to be?

NOYB,

My feeling is if you are boating and die from a heart attack or a stroke,
it might be a blessing. I am not scared of dying.



I yearn to live for my family's sake...not my own.


Too over extended to have decent insurance?

It takes more than money to care for a family.

alive artificially when it is my day to die. I think back to the movie
"Little Big Man" and the Chief Dan George saying "Today is a good day to
die".

There are worse ways to go, than dying quickly doing something you enjoy.


What about when you have to stand up and account for all your sins?
Tthat should scare the bejesus out of you!

Don,
I am not sure if there is a heaven and hell, but if I do have to account for
all of my sins it will scare the bejesus out of me.

How about you?

I try to atone for mine while still here, hoping for a quick pass
through when my day comes.

Don,
That is what Jews do each year. Makes a lot of sense.

I try to atone also, but I am sure I have forgotten many of my sins.

That was a troll, and it was nice of NOYB not to bite!
